Ok so let me tell you my story. I had a iPhone it got stolen so i bought a g1 fell in love with android but missed iPhone so sold G1 and got iPhone again. Got tired of iPhone and bought G1 and now i have a iPhone 3G 16GB and a G1. I saw the Nexus One and fell in love. Now my question is should I sell my iPhone 3G 16GB for the Nexus. Is the Nexus that great? And how much could I sell this iPhone for on eBay? Please helppp
Wow, you do need help, and I thought I was bad.
personally, i'll be keeping my iphone and switching back and forth till the android market gets close to all the games i have on my iphone...
i have 8 pages of games (no apps, just games) on my iphone so i wont be getting rid of it, also i have a custom red backplate that i installed my self and ordered from hong kong
i also have a g1 but i dont use it cause of my iphone... just pick it up here and there
when you had your G1, did you like it? Essentially, what makes the nexus one better will be the snapdragon processor. it will make everything faster compare to the G1 or mytouch 3g. Yea android will not have as many games as the iphone. i'd say buy the nexus one, try it out. if you don't like it return it. go back to your iphone
Yea I do need help lol. Well I only use my iPhone for music. The apps got boring and i don't even play the games. I just use my psp or ds. I barely even touch my iPhone now I just use it as an alarm. The only reason I went back to the iPhone before was because 3.0 came out for it and I thought it would be awesome but it really wasn't. And plus I have the iPhone unlocked for T-mobile and could only use edge so it was pointless to have a iPhone 3g. Main reason I kept G1 was 3g and because I just fell in love with android. So to get to the point lol how much would you suggest sell the iPhone for?
dont listen to firedup hes probably just hating cause he cant get a nexus one. Its your money and your decision.
Nexus One = Slimmer G1 with bigger higher res screen, faster processor, more RAM, and latest Android OS. (oh and no hardware keyboard)
If that is what youre looking for in a phone, then you have every right to buy it with your own hard earned money.
why sell it, you are just going to buy another one
Keep the G1 and iPhone while buying an N1 and call it good.
Lol I'm selling the iPhone because I need the money for the Nexus.
i'm assuming since you're using the iphone on tmo then its unlock and jailbroken? hows the condition of the phone? if it still in good condition, i think people will still pay good money for your iphone. list it on ebay and let people bid on it. let it ride out. lol. good chance you can get anywhere from 300-400 for your iphone. Is it 3GS? Then you get even more

Whoah there, steady on! I've got a Nexus being delivered in the next 2 days! I was being serious, I need help as well. I've bought every HTC premium release since I can remember, plus a few others and iphones!
Its a 3g. Haha i put it on ebay for 425 and it sold in 5 minutes but it was a scam but i put on craigslist and got an offer of 220 and unlocked blackberry storm. i think i might try to get a 2yr for tmobile and get it cuz currently im on easy plus which isnt 2 yr
or you could flash a 2.1 rom have neXus_on3 with no live wallpaper.... lol
i'll tell you my story.
early nov i ordered an e71. then a little bit of dust accumulated under the screen so i swapped it for a new one a couple weeks later. then that one had a slight wobble in the battery door, and my original one had absolutely none. so i swapped that for another e71. then i saw a fleeting deal on ebay to purchase a nokia e72 at 20% off, and this was just a month after it's original release. so i jumped on that deal. now i have an e71 and an e72.
i'm returning both of them after i receive my nexus one tomorrow.
i figure i made out pretty good, to use two phones for practically 3 months at no cost whatsoever.
well i have a iphone 3g 16gb i bought for 350 a while ago and im currently trying to sell that and my modded banned xbox 360 for the nexus. I also have a g1 but wanna keep that for testing purposes. OMGGGG I want this so baddddd
I just sold my iphone 3g that was well used on craigslist for $350. Also put my mytouch up for $230 and have gotten several serious callers but i will prob just keep it. i cant wait to get my nexus tomorrow.
yea im thinking of selling my iphone for 220 and a storm but idk yet. im currently bidding on 3 nexus's hoping (actually praying lol) to win. I put max bid for each at 250 but i doubt ill get it. But im i can get 350 for my iphone and 100 for xbox ill find the rest and order straight from google lol
I ordered a Milestone and a N1 and don't know wether I want to keep both (I like them both and beginn to hate my Xperia X1, sometimes it's so sluggish)
Couldn't upgrade from my easy more plus for some reason. I was on a family plan with my sister and then did a change of responsibility and transferred my line to my own plan but technically i am still under contract til my sisters is over according to a T-mobile rep . But i may have hope the lady at the store told me that the 2 yr from my sister isn't over til August but she said i should still be eligible to upgrade to nexus and to keep trying because T-Mobile and Google are discussing problems people have been having with upgrading. But i read online that in the long run nexus + 2 yr is more expensive then nexus full price + easy more plus. So I'm gonna sell iphone on ebay
I hadnt really thought about a new phone since last week, just because i didnt need one, but now that I have lost my MyTouch 3g i need a new phone.
Im wondering if i should go out and buy the glacier from Tmobile this month at hopefully some discount, or wait a bit more. The thing is, i know there are 2x core coming out in the near future (may?) but i dont know if i can wait 3 months without a phone...
Or should I get another phone (TMOBILE ONLY GUYS) instead of the Mytouch 4G...ive looked at pretty much all their phones and i know people with some other android devices..and i dont want a physical qwerty or the touch sensitive bottom dock buttons... so i think i will be perfectly happy with a MyTouch 4G running CM7.
Any advice please? (and i want to keep this hopefully in the low 200$'s)
I absolutely love this phone (with CM7) and I think this is the best phone I've ever had but, if I was in your position, I would not get it, or at least not right now.
You're right, dual-cores are coming out as early as this spring and this means that you either will get a phone with better tech for the same money (LG 2x, rumored HTC Pyramid, whatever else is rumored for T-mo) or you will be able to get MT4G a lot cheaper as many people (like myself) will start off-loading them to pick-up newer phones.
My advice: if you can wait couple of months - wait. If not - MT4G is the best phone on the market right now and you will not have any regrets with it. For what it's worth, 5 people on CM team own one and that is a good indicator of phone's quality and performance.

Thanks man, I cant really wait 3 months with a crappy nokia 2330 lol...so i guess ill just get the MT4G. And really, would the 2x core change THAT much more? at least in its first months of being released. The mt4g seems super fast already, so would i really need more? and I just found out that I can get it for 30$ from Tmobile so that seems like a great price. Thanks for the reply!

Dual-cores are supposed to be more powerful and more efficient then current procs. No, we will not see THAT much improvement until it's implemented properly.
As I said, if you can't wait - get MT4G, especially for $30 ( I bet you can get on for free if you call loyalty department or go to Costco), you will love it.
I would wait or buy mytouch off craigslist, mine was $250. Thinking of trading it for a nexus s with $75,. Like the phone, but do want to try the nexus s, or I can sell it for $350. Wanting to play with a hd2 then buy a new phone in a few months
This is the most powerful Android T-Mobile device has to offer right now. I am happy with it, and I bought it flat out when it first came out. My contract had expired already and I guess I'm waiting in the future to c if there are any new Androids coming out, but as of now I can afford to wait.
So here's the deal:
I'm on AT&T, been using an Aria with CM 7 RC for awhile now. I had the Atrix 4g, but after some issues with data connection and figuring "better safe than sorry" when it came to the bootloader situation, I decided it just wasn't meant to be. Now I'm wanting something a little more after the atrix vs my Aria, but I'm still on AT&T for now (family plan), and am hesitant to extend my contract (Inspire is too big anyway)
So my question to you, users of the original Google phone: is it still worth it?
I figure I can buy a nexus one on ebay for ~$400 for AT&T's bands, and sell it again (or keep it because it's so cool) when its time for a new contract. Is it worth getting the N1 at this point or is it getting too heavily outclassed, even with development and the latest software, or is it still kicking strong and will last me until at least some quad-core LTE super nexus 3 comes out?
Thanks for hearing my rant and for letting me know!
Its lasted us this long so no reason why you wont still enjoy it too...
Keep an eye on the Marketplace forum here. You'll get a good N1 for less than $400.
They are still worth buying if you can get a bargain.
As the seasons change and I'm outside more and the sky is often brighter. The fact that the N1 screen isalmost impossible to see outside is really annoying. Unless you never go outside I'd say stay away from the N1.
Also, the touch screen is awful. Every game must have their touch controls in odd places for them to actually work on the N1. Really makes it feel like a crappy device.
I really do like my N1, but these things were reasons I probably should have returned it over a year ago. No way I'd recommend someone get it now.

At $400, I wouldn't. Quick craigslist search shows several around the country at $200-$250. For that price I would, and if any were in my own backyard, I would probably grab a second one.
Yes its a nice phone. No I would not spend 400 for it now. Aria is a nice phone. Inspire is best deal at this moment. I don't see why u pick up a N1. U get custom roms on aria. If you want new device get a tablet. HTC flyer is on its way or Samsung tab will be out soon.
But don't get me wrong. I love my N1. It's just that their is nothing that interest me at this time. Maybe gte t-mobile g2x. It will be compatible with ATT and its dual core. The best part vanilla android. I wait though and see how it reviews.

First, I LOVE my N1. I run the CM7 nightlies on it, I use Titanium Backup to yank core sys apps from the nightlies that I don't care about. I've got 155 apps on it (thanks to Apps2SD) and SetCPU is running the clock at just a little over stock speed.
And I get to do all that with hardly the hassle others complain of with their non-N1 phones.
The N1 will continue to hold the hearts of Devs for as long as there's nothing with better specs that's as open and easy to work with.
Yes, get an N1, but you can do better than $400 (unless that's including a car or desk dock). If/When Google comes out with a 'real' successor (sorry, a rebadged Galaxy-S isn't a true successor) just sell off the N1 and upgrade.
The N1 is no longer top in class. If you want a pure android feeling, the N1 I'd recommend. But if you want better, then I'm guessing go for the Nexus S... does the Ns have an Att version?
The best thing about N1 is that the OS is android, not some mesh of other bloatware and junk provided by the manufacture HTC, Motorola, and the service provider ATT, Verizon... Of course, you can root, and put on a custom rom, and that's all resolved anyway.
Just my opinion.
I'm going to have to go with yes.
If I lost or broke my N1 today, I would, without hesitation, start the hunt to buy a new one. Unfortunately I'm on AT&T so finding an AT&T 3G N1 isn't as simple as buying it from the Google Developer site, but I would probably snag one off feeBay.
I'd have to go with no...unless you can get it for 200-250. While it is a nice phone and holds well against these beasts nowadays I can't justify a purchase due to the lack of internal memory and the horrid "multi-touch" panel. I too am waiting for a true nexus successor (Nexus S? yea okay.) and hopefully I won't have to wait long but there are nice phones on AT&T running android so im sure the inspire would be a better pick...or hold out for a few more months for whatever monsters are announced following Google I/O
i still love my nexus one to death, and still cannot find anything on the market now that i consider better than the nexus one simply because of the whole package, color trackball, design and build quality and materials, etc. so i say you should go for the nexus one.
No. It's an awesome phone, but as others have said, it's not worth $400 a year after it's out.
I just bought one on Craigslist for 240
Good phone
I still consider a good phone at this moment and with a good price.
Just sold mine for $350 on Craigslist.
Figured that, since T-mobiles 1700 3g radio frequency is eventually going to be changed to Att LTE and the T-mobile Nexus One completely wont work once that happens, that every day I keep it is another day that the value will go down. Thought I better get out now and lock in my profit before others figure this out and start to flood Craigslist with cheaper prices.
hate. Hate. HATE to give up my $30 EvenMorePlus and $10 web2go but I'm not going to stay aboard a sinking ship and there are other options still out there for my price range of $40/month or less for a smartphone. I simply REFUSE to pay $60 - 70 per month purely on principle
I just saw that my local best buy is offering the nexus s for free with 2 year contract renewal. I love my aria the size is perfect and it's a great phone but with what appears to be the end of the road for cm7 and a lot of uncertainty about cm9 for the aria I was wondering what some of your opinions are about the nexus s. Things that stand out to me are that even though it has a 480x800 the phone still seems to be quite small in comparison to some of the other monsters out there the phone seems to be well supported here on xda. I know it only has 16gb of internal memory with no external sd card but that's not a deal breaker for me I have 16gb card now and am no where close to running out of space. I know the phone is older and does not have a duel processor or 4g but free is very tempting. Any ways I respect the opinion of many of you here so wanted some of your opinions.
Honestly, I wouldn't get it for the fear that it would become an obsolete device one year into your 2 year contract.

It is a very good phone, but you would be better off waiting or getting something like the atrix 2 for 50-100 bucks. Get something dual core so you know it has a future. The nexus s would feel more like the aria in terms of performance because of the extra resolution. Not to mention, it's almost obsolete now, with the galaxy nexus taking it's place. Just my 2 cents. I would honestly get the s2 or vivid if you can get the extra money.... S2 is where I'm headed in a month.
I switched to the A2 two months ago and even stock I love it. Development has been slow with the locked bootloader but is picking up now that we have a way to dual boot. Currently all Motorola owners are banding together petitioning and media bombing the carriers and Motorola to unlock our bootloaders. It worked with HTC so I don't think it will be long.All in all it's an awesome device with a great future ahead.
Yes...it took a while for HTC to get there head out of there a$$.
Thanks for the opinions the sg2 does look like a nice phone it's just the size overall that bothers me but that seems to be the direction all the manufacturers are heading. Still undecided on what to do. I bought my aria off contract from Craigslist so if I did go with the nexus I could always sell it some point and do something like that again.
Sent from wherever I am?
I was actually undecided between the SGS2 and the Nexus S. The SGS2 just seemed huge, and the pixels seemed cartoon big. I ended up getting the SGS2 and one month later, I'm used to the size. Still fits in the hand or pocket, and the bigger screen is nice. I probably squint less looking at the screen too. Overall, I still think the Nexus has the nicer form factor.
But you're right, selling the Nexus when you're ready to upgrade again is a solid plan. What'd you end up doing?

Hi, i'm an Atrix owner, and my dad's phone just died, so i thought that i could buy a new phone for me and give my atrix to him. It will have more than he can use anyway.
So, i'm trying to go with the best for under $300 (unlocked). I suffered the Motorola's lack of updates with my Milestone and this Atrix, so i want a futureproof device (balanced with the price). So my first thought of course is the Nexus. If it gets 5.0 i'll be happy for another year i guess.
But i don't know what's in the market right now, so maybe i'm missing another good device for the price, or maybe the Nexus 4 is not as good as it looks. So that's why i'm asking what the title says.
Would you still buy the Nexus 4?
Thank you.

I gave my old lady my old Atrix and grabbed the Nexus.
Now I'm trying to talk her in to getting one.
The price now @ $249 to performance ratio can't be beat considering you own the phone out right, no contract crap.
Get updates on day 1 release, it will get 5.0
The camera is decent enough I find...after all it's a phone.
If you don't care about the lack of a SD card and a non removable battery. Then it's def worth it
After the Atrix you'd be very happy with it.
I'd get a case for it the as it's an extremely slippery phone though.
If you're on a budget and looking for unlocked and properly priced, then yes, it's perfect. You don't get 4G LTE out of the box, and you only get it with fixes and always changing the settings back. If not having 4G LTE is fine, then yes, it's your best bet. MetroPCS and Boost are selling the SIII for $400 still. You still get a year warranty of course when you buy it from Google.
Only if I didn't already own one. Why?
1. Price/performance ratio is insane
2. Dev support is lively
3. LTE on Tmobile
4. No contract
5. Storage fits my music collection
6. Dat back
so seems buying n4 still worth it if you just want to use it for a decent purpose only, am I right ? I'm not a type of person who loves to rooted or change kernel to phone.
I did 3 days ago and its flying
I got mine the other day. Coming from a GS3, I am more then happy with the N4. Will I get an N5 when it comes up, most likely but depending on the price maybe not as soon as it is released.
My wife picked up a HTC One. Spec wise and quality build that is on the HTC One is top of the line right now but I would not take one over the N4. There is just something special about a Nexus device and it runs fantastic.
Looking at this thread i am going to say a big YES http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/nex...y-google-play-store-1642317?page=104#comments
Yep. Just bought another N4 (to replace a stolen N4) and it has been a good idea
Its the best. No doubt about it. Just go for it. I'd buy it again if I have to. Best performance with such specs at this price. Just brilliant.
I did. Am selling my Xperia Z for profit, and got an Nexus 4 for £159. Much prefer the look, feel and performance over the Sony. Love it.
For some stupid reason, it still costs Rs. 24,990 ($ 379) in india (flipkart.com). Were it not for this silly pricing, i would have bought it a long time back.

Yes, I would for sure.

I would but just because of the value. For $200-$300 you get a great unlocked phone. It isn't the best phone but it definitely is for the price range. It definitely does have it quirks though. For one I hate the fact that I am limited to 16gb of storage as there is no SD Card slot. Google however has great cloud based apps so you really don't need 64gb. For me, I have 30+ GB of music and its all on the cloud with Google play. Even when your offline you still have access you your music though because the app very conveniently caches songs periodically to keep some stored locally (I have about 2gb local). The screen is not full 1080p which is becoming the norm now and not to forget the phone has horrible color calibration, which can be fixes with a custom kernel. The phones battery life also isn't the greatest... As a pretty heavy user I probably would have to charge it at least once throughout the day. The camera also is pretty crappy and so is the speaker.
Bottom line. The phone is definitely worth every cent but it does have its issue. There are plenty of phones better than it but they're all $600+ phones. So yes even today, I would say to Stoll get it for the value
I definently would,
given there has just been a price drop of 100$ on both versions!
Now there is really no way to beat the price.
Take the 8 gb version for example and look at other models in the same price range.
You see things like the Samsung Young, which really are no match at all for the Nexus 4!
Try and name 1 device for under 400$ that is better, I think you will have a hard time.
And now the Nexus is only half of that!
I just ordered mine last week when the price dropped. I have been using the Galaxy Nexus for the last year and will likely never purchase another non-Nexus device ever again.
For me, it was all about value. As others have mentioned - it is pretty hard to beat the current 199/249 price point that these are available at right now. I had originally planned on holding off until the N5 was released but simply couldn't pass up this deal.
Now just anxiously waiting for it to arrive!
I just did - a few days ago. I was never happier. :cyclops:
